KANSAS CITY, Mo. - With no Joe Mon tana, the Kansas City Chiefs needed the de fense to provide some offense. So nose tackle Dan Saleaumua took over where the injured Montana left off. Saleaumua ran 16 yards for a touchdown early in the third quarter with a fumble stripped by Derrick Thomas from Brett Favre to set the Chiefs off on a 17-point run that gave them a 23-16 victory over Green Bay on Mon day night. Then the 6-foot, 300-pounder forced a fum ble by Darrell Thompson that Tracy Rogers re covered in the end zone just as the Packers threatened to go ahead with just under six minutes left. An interception by Martin Bayless, Kansas City's third of the game, ended Green Bay's fi nal threat with 1:40 left. The victory kept the Chiefs (6-2) in first place in the AFC West and ended a three-game winning streak for the Packers (4-4). But it wasn't easy. The Kansas City offense was limited to just 60 yards in the half and could have gone off trailing by more than the 9-3 score by which the Packers led. In fact, the defense produced those points, a 23-yard field goal by Nick Low ery set up by Kevin Ross' interception and 48- yard return. . Green Bay, meanwhile, failed on a first and goal from the two when Thomas forced a third down fumble and chose to kick a field goal on fourth down from the Kansas City one in the final minute of the half and settled for Chris Jacke's field goals of 23, 51 and 19 yards. Then, on Green Bay's first offensive play af ter intermission, Thomas broke behind Favre and swiped at the ball, knocking it straight at the feet of Saleaumua. He grabbed it like a shortstop and rambled 16 yards into the end zone to give the Chiefs the lead. Green Bay went three and out and the Chiefs, whose only first half score was set up by Kevin Ross' interception, drove 46 yards in 10 plays to make it 13-9 on a 34-yard field goal by Lowery. The Chiefs made it 20-9 1:06 into the four! quarter after a 76-yard drive, their onlysm tained offensive sortie of the night. The key play was a 32-yard pass from Da* Krieg to JJ. Birden that put the ballatt Green Bay 4-yard-Iine. Krieg, subbing whil Montana rested his pulled hamstring, was of 30 for 170 yards and was sacked four timei three by Bryce Paup. But 55 seconds after the Chiefs' toudidowi Green Bay narrowed the score to 20-16. Marcus Wilson returned the kickoff] yards to the 45. Then Favre found Sterlin Sharpe for 21 yards then found Jackie Harri all alone for a 35-yard pass. Seven minutes later it looked like it wouli be 23-20 Packers as Green Bay, aided by a 30 yard pass interference call against Dale Carte moved to a first down at the Chiefs' 3. But on second down, as Thompson chargi toward the end zone, Saleaumua stripped hii the ball came loose and Rogers fell on it. Theijj Todd McNair's 48-yard run set up a 40-ya: field goal by Lowery that finalized the game 23-16 with 3:26 left. laesday, > |UU PHILLI davetho BELINDA B mack har KLATUBiS Thomas Continued from Page7 coaches, telling you how good you are, nobody really knows who the national champions are," Thomas said. "I think a national championship team is a team that has all the pieces, like a strong defense, a good offense and good special teams. "It's important for all those pieces to work together and it's important for all those players to work together. When that happens, then that is a national championship-type team. I think Texas A&M is one of those teams." While the national championship may be out of reach this year, the Southwest Conference championship is just around the corner with an other trip to the Cotton Bowl. But Thomas said he does not want to look that far ahead. "Every time you win a championship, it's special," said Thomas who won two 2A Texas state championships at Groveton before coming to A&M. "Every time we win a game it's special to me. "I take it one game at a time, but the team goal is definitely getting back to the Cotton Bowl." Aikman still aching The Associated Press Boston.Chicago.Seattle win The Associated Press BOSTON — The Boston Celtics had seven players in double figures Monday night and beat the Milwaukee Bucks 108-100. Sherman Douglas led Boston with 19 points, Robert Parish had 18 and Dino Radja 15. Milwaukee was led by Eric Murdock with 22, while Frank Brickowski, Ken Norman and Todd Day had 16 each. Milwaukee cut a 66-56 deficit midway through the third quarter to 99- 95 with 2:13 left on consecutive baskets by Murdock and Norman. Rick Fox, who had 12 points, sank two free throws before Milwaukee rookie Vin Baker's tip made it 101-97 with 1:44 left. Parish and Brickows ki then traded foul shots, making it 102-98. Parish's two free throws with 20 seconds left clinched the win. CHICAGO — The Chicago Bulls, depleted by the retirement of Michael Jordan and an injury to Scottie Pippen, needed neither Monday night in a 106-80 rout of the Atlanta Hawks. The Bulls, who got 23 points from B.J. Armstrong, used a 41 -13 surge ‘ iced on injured and missed his TKe game was tied at 50 when tine Bulls went on a 22-9 burst in the last 9:02 of the third quarter to open a 72-59 lead.

Malone's 17-footer put the Jazz ahead, setting the stage for Pierce's game winner. IRVING - Troy Aikman limped around Valley Ranch with the first pulled hamstring of his athletic career Monday but the Dallas Cowboys quarterback said he would even try acupunc ture to get off the doubtful list to play next Sunday against Phoenix. The good news for the Cow boys was that Aikman didn't tear the left hamstring when he went down in a heap in the third peri od of Sunday's 31-9 victory over the New York Giants. “It's pretty sore and I'm sure there is some bleeding but doc tors don't believe it's tearing,” Aikman said. “I'm day to day this week. Nothing has been ruled out. "But you'd have to be opti mistic to say I'll play this week." Aikman said he might try acupuncture if the bleeding clears. He's currently treating the injury with icepacks. “There are some other players who have had success with it, so I'll give it a try/ he said. Aikman said he had never pulled a hamstring in his high school career at Henryetta, Okla., or in college at both Oklahoma and UCLA. “I didn't even know what it felt like," he said. “I didn't know how to act. It just popped. There's been very little swelling. It's amazing I've never had any problems before considering the fact my hamstrings are tight." Aikman said if the game against the Cardinals was Mon day “I couldn't play." He added that he was not go ing to take any chances. “If I can't help the team and I can't move I wouldn't jeopardize it (the injury). I'll listen to the doctor on this one."

Clay Continued from Page 7 were virtually crushed between the fences and the surging masses behind them. This resulted in 73 injuries, six of those critical ly- News clips of the carnage shocked the nation. The pictures were graphic. A girl was pressed against a gate pleading with a guard to open the gate because she was be ing crushed, but he seemed to ignore her. Football players were tearing at piles of students to retrieve the ones suffocating on the bottom. It looked more like a soccer match in Liverpool than a collegiate foot ball game in Madison, Wisconsin. The point is that there was no precedent for the measures taken at the Wisconsin game. If there were any previous situa tions that involved injuries or real prob lems caused by fans rushing the field, then the NCAA and most schools in the nation would have taken measures against it. But, they haven't. The police were reported to have acted belligerently. One student said security guards hit and pushed them. They were hitting those trying to escape the pressure from the churning masses behind them. Head of campus police, Susan Riseling, told security before the game to discourage fans from going onto the field, but to allow them on the field if large numbers of peo ple begin to push through. Her orders were not heeded. But why should the stu dents be discouraged at all? They should have been aware of the dangers near the fences. Another question: Why have fences in the first place? They might have been in tended to keep the fans off the field, but all they did was trap the students. The fact is that the student body did try to rush the field which was against school policy. They acted irresponsibly and a lot '1 will not b of people got hurt. Their part in this tragedy cannot go unnoticed. But the school policy itself needs serious evaluation. Wisconsin is the only school to suffer this kind of disaster. It is the only one with chain link fences and abusive se- '' om and P ( curity. They need to take some of the re- into sponsibility for this, as well. Jbconsciou Wisconsin could have had the memories f 5 ^ daily of a celebrated victory similar to the ones Un t ™ s ° Kansas State have now. Instead they only have the nightmares of a Halloween tragedy which could have been avoided. Par E ' c veryon one tin anothe lossed his oi hd back ai tlaimed wit] utmost conv siy parents.'
